She's a Chicago girl and makes no bones about it. Bonnie Hunt grew up in Chicago in a large Catholic family, along with three older brothers, two older sisters, and one younger sister. They lived in a neighborhood west of Wrigley Field and absolutely adored the Cubs.

How deep is her Cubs love? She claims that she hasn't missed a single opening day at Wrigley Field since 1977.

When her daytime talk show started up last year, she came to Wrigley Field and had a little fun with Ryan Theriot.

Bonnie Hunt isn't one of those bandwagon jumpers claiming all things Chicago. She told the Tube Talk Podcast last year that being a Cubs fan is deeper than just loving baseball or Chicago. It's a philosophy of life. "No matter how bad it gets, no matter how tough it gets, you get back up and do it again."

Needless to say, the Cubs have invited Bonnie to sing "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" a few times. Here she is in 2008. (She can actually sing too).

She may have starred in some of the best movies in the last twenty years ("Rain Man," "Dave," and "Jerry McGuire"), and she may be a talented screenwriter and director ("Return to Me"), not to mention a great voice over actress ("Monsters Inc." and "Cars"), and a gifted improv artist ("Second City") in addition to being an Emmy nominated talk show host, but Chicago girl Bonnie Hunt is something else first and foremost.

A Cubs fan.
